...daily rule to rise at 6 a.m., usually beginning her royal chores with an hour's work in the spacious garden at the back of the Palace. Nowadays, once a week the Queen receives her Ministers, and woe be to him who does not know his subject well. The Queen has been so long at her job that she can ask the most difficult questions; when a Minister cannot answer them he is told to study up and sent home. In what spare time Her Majesty permits herself she paints landscapes and cows...

Augusta for consultations with Francis B. Sayre, U. S. High Commissioner to the Philippines, on the subject of U. S. interests in Asia, and the extent to which the U.

Harvard still inclines to a tradition of "pure" liberal arts, devoid of much practical application. But long ago colleges realized each subject can grow only in its own medium, that to write drama for an English composition course--and yet keep it divorced from the stage--is like reading chemistry without carrying on laboratory experiments. Playwrights like Sidney Howard, Eugene O'Neill and Philip Barry thrived under Professor Baker because the workshop tested their lines through informal...
